Referring Physicians & Providers
Hello! We are so glad you have reached out! PearceMD is now accepting new patients, and Gillian Croteau, PA-C and Dr. Pearce are happy to see new and former patients.
A formal referral is NOT required, but is helpful to have the patient's contact and clinical information to expedite care.
​
​
As a value-based, not volume-based practice, we know you have made the right choice for your patients!
To that end, as a smaller practice, please be aware of the following items:
​
-
Dr. Pearce and Gillian work together as a team and co-manage patients. Their number one goal is timely patient care so depending on a number of factors, patients may see one or the other, often both, and can be assured their care is closely communicated.
-
Every referral and self-referral is reviewed by our team to ensure an appropriate clinical and timely placement and this can take 1-2 business days.
-
In the rare event we are unable to see a new patient due to complexity and/or emergent nature of care needed, this will be communicated to the referral source.
-
We are in network with Aetna, Taro Health, and Maine Community Health Options. We will soon (7/1/24) be in network with Medicare, but we are not in network with Medicaid and the remaining commercial insurance carriers. We offer transparent cash-pay prices. It is the responsibility of the patient to understand their health insurance policy, including, if your insurance is in-network with our providers, have a co-pay, deductible, or require a referral. We appreciate a 24-hour cancelation notice.
​
3 EASY STEPS:
1. FAX the referral to 207-514-8213​
-
Mark as "URGENT" if patient should be seen within a week
​​
2. Please inform patient: PearceMD will call you within 1-2 days to schedule you with either Gillian the Physician Assistant, or Dr. Pearce, depending on a number of factors.
-
While waiting, patients are welcome to call the office or reach out through our Contact Form
3. Please inform patient: PearceMD is only in network with a few insurance carriers, but is out of network with others. We are currently in network with Taro Health, Aetna, and Maine Community Health Options. We are going in network with Medicare hopefully beginning July 1, 2024
-
We offer transparent cash-pay pricing for out of network patients
-
The office will discuss the benefits of Direct Specialty Care, pricing, and reimbursement options when patient is contacted
-
Patients are seen for hour-long appointments and can often get in next day
